Joy: if you read the instructions carefully, you will find the option " Clean Washer" that means you should run at least one "Clean Washer" cycle per every 30 washes and if I m not wrong there is a reminder that lights on on older models. I run my cycle every month no matter what and I use pool grade chlorine. Please be careful where do you fill chlorine (read instruction on care section). Another important rule of thumb is the use of common sense: Never leave wet laundry inside machine overnight or longer; always leave door open after you remove laundry and specially if you not going to use machine for few days!!!!. The quality of detergent you use, play an important roll on how much scum and residues are left over, lower the quality means you must clean more frequently and also an exes of fabric softener can create big problems!!!!. For now I would run a "Clean Cycle" with Chlorine and after and wearing rubber gloves, take a small rag damped with bleach and clean inside the door rubber seal. You can use Clorox wipes if you want but if is as bad as you said I will use bleach!!!! you can also read in care section on the washing machine manual and I believe should be page 17.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Whirlpool manufactures cleaning tablets that you should use every month or so depending upon the use of your machine. Also, please try to leave the washer door open after you finish using the machine for a few hours. This will allow the machine to dry out faster which will prevent mold from building up
